Lee Jae-myeong's Site of Patriotic Deed

Lee Jae-myeong's Site of Patriotic Deed is where young patriot Lee Jae-myeong attempted to assassinate pro-Japanese traitor Lee Wan-yong on December 22, 1909. As the traitor Lee Wan-yong arrogantly passed by in a rickshaw, Lee Jae-myeong rushed at him with a dagger, stabbing him in the waist. While shouting for Korean independence, he was caught after being wounded in the lower body by the swords of the Japanese police guarding him, and he died for his country on September 30, 1910. To honor Patriot Lee Jae-myeong, the Seoul Metropolitan Government installed a commemorative stone marker.
